For me worked:
In Intellij project folder :
Keep it in recycle bin!
Close Ide, then open the project ( it might not work )
Close again, then restore the gradle file / .idea folder.
I am new to android studio in Mac. This error causing by the folder .gradle is not granted the appropriated right to start working. So open the "get info" and give it all the "Read & write", don't forget to choose "Apply to enclosed items". Hope it help someone !
I did hours of research and I discovered that the localhost:8080 on my program had never fully detached last time I stopped running the program. The program refused to start because really it never stopped from last time. Detach you localhost. If you don't know how just restart the computer--it will detach everything
You can see if your project folder have the permissions set to write and execute. If not, this might work:
sudo chmod 777 path/to/your/projectfolder
